Critics Review
“Chupacarter is an uproariously good time, full of humor, heart, and unexpected friendships.” –Zoraida C
“ChupaCarter is an uproariously good time, full of humor, heart, and unexpected friendships.”
—Zoraida Córdova, award-winning author of Valentina Salazar Is Not a Monster Hunter
“Fast-paced and funny, with lively illustrations.”
—Washington Post
“A narrative punctuated with wisecracks and flavored with Spanish phrases and slang…Frights and fun in equal measure.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Gutierrez’s lively b&w illustrations expertly render Jorge and Carter’s occasionally over-the-top, adrenaline-filled adventures. Actor/comedian Lopez and Calejo offer a rollicking tale brimming with Latinx folklore and culture about finding one’s home in the unlikeliest of places that never takes itself too seriously.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Some good and gross humor…in this fantasy-infused tale.”
—School Library Journal
